If one of the prongs of a tuning fork gets broken then the intensity of sound produced by it\

Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

A tunning fork vibrates as shown the figure and produces stationary waves. Energy remains stationary in the fork. Hence the fork vibrates for a long time but produces only feeble sound. When one of the prongs gets broken, the fork will not vibrate as tunning fork. But it will vibrate as rod and produce more sound.\
